Your marriage
What keeps a marriage well is not the big gestures. It is knowing each other, turning towards each other in ordinary moments, staying regulated when it gets hot, and repairing quickly when it goes wrong. Most of the practices here take under five minutes.

Mark one milestone together this month, however small, rather than letting it pass.
The anniversary, the finished project, the hard season survived. Pause and honour it.
Keep a weekly date, just the two of you, to keep learning each other with open questions.
A regular two hours together, asking about dreams and hopes, keeps your map of each other current.
